Big load in the dually
« on: January 26, 2012, 11:56:19 am »
well today i went out to haul gravel again for my friends uncle and ive still not maxed out my suspension yet i had the truck loaded with 2.41 tons of gravel. truck ran really good only geting at max 190 degrees and that was just from me idling on the weight station at the quarry. during the trip it only got like 180 mostly being at 175. other than the slower acceleration the old truck still went 45 with no problem to bad i didnt have my camera cause the truck was about to look like a low rider in the back it was close to having the wheels in the dually fender

     Next time you got to remember your camera, we need proof. (and pics)   ;D

     Yea, that had some weight in it.  Glad to hear it drove as good as you said with all that weight.
